Hanoi, Vietnam - 2002 July 1 Weekend

Vietnam is a fabulous place.


Our little traveling party.


some (undocumented) highlights:

  • We watched Brazil beat Germany in the World Cup Final, in the MetPub at the Metropole Hotel. Brazill seemed to be the favorite of the packed crowd, which included people from Vietnam, Britain, France, etc.
  • We caught glimpses of the "Ho-meister" and his digs.
  • We sampled fare at two Figeroa Corp. restaurants.
  • "million-dong lunch"
  • "don't take the sauce"
  • "thin-neck guy" ... "eggshell"


    "grab it like a rabbit..."


    "me love you long time"


    "...aww crap..."


    When crossing the streets of Hanoi, we are "The Wall of Flesh."



    "all of my food must be in roll form"


    "mmmm, seafood..."


    gorgeous Ha Long Bay


    "pineapple is goood..."


    more "mushroom" islands in Ha Long Bay


    "likey likey..."


    "I'll always remember where I was on that sad, sad day - the day I learned that Sporty Spice has a case of truck butt"


    typical traffic on the highway from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay

    p.s. We reserve the right to ridicule Vietnam Airlines for making us spend several hours at the Hanoi airport.

    Disclaimer: Although some of these pictures show people, places and things that seem strange or ridiculous, our intention is not to ridicule Vietnam.
    Of course, the pictures of us on vacation are an entirely different matter ....
